Allen Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: I talked to Lee yesterday and ordered his tickets for him right away. He told me at that time that you were writing me about more tickets for the Wisconsin game. I was very glad to secure the tickets for him, and do hope that they will enjoy the game. The team is looking better this week, and we are hoping for a little more luck from now on. However, it has been rather tough going as everyone has been more or less laying for us. We are hoping that they will start pointing for someone else from now on. Wish best wishes to you and Mrs. Allen, and hoping that you have a very successful basketball season, 1 am Very sincerely yours, UC Ben beg A. C.

FOAsAH Varsity Basketball Coache 1740 K Street N.W. Washington, D.C, Get. 27, 1939 Dr. Forrest ¢C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc Allen: When you introduced me to Warren Woody in Chicago you introduced me to an amazing character, Even at this late date I am not quite sure whether he is real, mythical, or just a creation of the imagination, But perhaps I had best go back and pegin at the beginning, Arned with letters: of introduction from you and Prof, Flint I descended upon Chicago at the end of August. Hoping against hope that I could "crash" the big city I walked into the offices of Mr. Woody and Mr, Younggreen. Mr. Woody treated me like a father, He wined and dined me at the Chicago Athletic Club and we talked about K.U.'s football fortunes, college memories, jobs, and many others,.... I have seen people give others such consideration many times,- but it has been because they expected big returns.... Maybe a big order for their company and commissions.... But Mr. Woody had a Ssincereity and a desire to help another such as I have never seen,.. Perhaps that is why his office wall" covered with portraits autographed: "Io my friend Warren Woody" Telling me that I'd make a grand insurance salesman he offered me a job with his agency. With the explana- tion that I wanted to do something else.... something that I liked to do..... Mr. Woody pitched in and gave his help so that I might find the right kind of a job. Mr. Younggreen did the same thing and between them they introduced me to the entire executive personnel of advertising in Chicago and New York, I have made some grand tcontacts' on Time Inc, MeGraw Hill, Crowell Publishing Co., Hearst Magazines, N.B.C.,; and many other places, Dr, Forrest C, Allen ---- page @ And so it was that in an effort to get me around to the "right" people in New York that Mr, Woody intro@uced me to Viee President Vance Bushnell of the Equitable's New York office. Mr. Bushnell tried to help me meet some advertising people in New York put after we had three or four meetings he talked to me about his own work, sales promotion and adver="— tising of life insurance, Well, to make a short story shorter, I am now a member of his sales promotional staff and at present I am stationed in the Washington branch office for a training period of from 4 to 5 months, During this time I am supposed to learn all the ins and outs of life insurance and after which I return to the New York office and begin the work I know I am going to like, Oddly enough this is a job for which I didn't even look..... And on the day that I took this job two others came my way. That I went to work for the Equitable tells you it seemed to be the best job... and it is a good spot fer someone like myself...... In brief I shall be writing for their booklets, magazines, and letters; working on sales promotion plans and then going out into the agencies over the country to help put the plans into operation....... All this good fortune has made me happier than I have been in @ long time.... And you have been instrumental in bringing it to me.. I want you to know how grateful I am to you for your help,. Perhaps you will know what I mean when I say:- "You will he my friend -- always", You may look for later bulletins... I shall let you know how I am getting along... T hope that K.U.'s athletic fortunes are high this year,... and for many years after.... aS long as you have any guiding force in them....
